Update: A brand new trailer full of guns, stand-offs, and impeccable beards has arrived:
The latest iteration of The Magnificent Seven is on the way, and this one features the likes of Chris Pratt, Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke and Vincent D’Onofrio.
With Antoine Fuqua in the director's chair for the this one, the film promises to see a small town – in this case Rose Creek, built around a gold mine – threatened by a ruthless baron and his gang of thugs. When they kill several people in their attempt to take the place over, a young widow (Haley Bennett) hires a bounty hunter (Washington) to dispatch the bad guys, supplying him with the necessary funds to hire six gunmen to help him in his mission. Which is where Pratt and others come into play. Included in the line-up alongside those we've mentioned are Lee Byung-Hun, Martin Sensmeier and Manuel Garcia-Rulfi, who are going up against the villainy of Peter Sarsgaard.
John Lee Hancock and True Detective’s Nic Pizzolatto are among those who have contributed to the screenplay, adapted from the classic Seven Samurai, which became the first crack at a Magnificent Seven in 1960. The new film will be out on September 23 and we can likely expect a trailer soon.
